Default Header/Sidepipe switch to N14

For a long long time I’ve wanted a BLACK ’69 Convertible. Goes back to the early 70’s when a had ’68 427/435 Coupe and spotted a ’69 Triple Black with factory N14 Sidepipe exhaust. Well many many Vettes and other cars later I finally pick one up. Triple Black 350/350, 4 spd, PS, PB, PW, Tilt/Tele and a few other things. Frame off within the past 10 years and begging me to make some mods.

First off is N14 Sidepipes, followed by A/C and not sure after that but have restored Hardtop also waiting to be installed.

The exhaust is complete and starting on A/C but took time out to finish documenting N14 install. I like to document as I seem to forget exactly what it took to do a job.

Here is link to install ===> Click Here

This is not about sound (loud or quiet) or about squeezing out the last ounce of horsepower -- Been-There-Done-That-Stuff -- but what I wanted

Hi George,
For some reason the N14 exhaust looks especially terrific on black convertibles!!!
Well done!
Regards,
Alan

Like the red lines too!

That looks spectacular. The N14 side pipes really make your car.

I'll admit I'm biased towards them:
